My budget is only rm100, if I can't get one I will just get some random keyboard that feels like one.

RM 100, best option is China MKB...

red switch, red led, RMB139
black switch, no led RMB99

The one I listed also from China, so its really a mechanical keyboard? BTW , do mechanical keyboards suffer from ghosting issue too?

Yes, they're mechanical keyboard. But, the quality just sucks!
Anyway, ghosting issue? What era is this? Even a RM 30 Logitech Keyboard doesn't have such issue.

Wait through the taobao link, realised that the one inlazada is just Mechanical-feeling, but not real mechanical
I thought its still an issue, nvm thanks !

just got my Gigabyte K83 MKB. Gotta said, it feels good typing this post with it.

Right, dota time

Guys, newbie's here.

I'm interested to buy filco at first, since it looks durablem and then when I looked at das 4c tkl, it looks more apealling since
- this store has a 20% discount
- das looks more beautiful in pic (don't know the real one) rather than filco majestouch 2 tkl
- additional 2 USB PORTS! I'm using mac and my 2 usb ports will be gone for mouse and keyboard. I'm developing an android app, so I need one more additional usb ports

Cons:
I read a review on Amazon.
Tl;dr the switch is greentech? What's that actually? Does it really matter?

First of all, I'm really unhappy when I found out that the switches are not cherry switches, but some clones made by Greetech. When I bought it, I only see that it says "blue switches", and omitted the details.
Comparing with the old das keyboard (with cherry blue switches), the new one is much softer. The switches are quieter, though. Interestingly, the softer feel is not that bad. The main problem with the switches is the inconsistency between different keys. There are some clear differences between different rows of keys, which may be intentional. But there are also differences between keys in the same row, which I think is a problem with the quality control of the switches.

Any opinions? I want to 'waste' my RM500 super wisely. Haha. Thanks

Get the Filco.

If you are using mac (most probably is macbook, because mac mini is 4 ports), then get USB hub like ANKER.
You get a keyboard for your developing for your apps, most of your time will be coding (not sure what you will be using, probably sublime text?), and designing.
Keyboard is very crucial at this point.
Even if DAS promotion 90%, still get a Filco. But please let me know

Doesn't matter about the greentech switches, because you won't getting it also.

Nowadays so many switches.... the last time i was here only got cherry mx, topre, buckling springs, and the kalih clone switches...

But now? Gaterons, logitech proprietary g-something switches, topre clones etc...

The more the merrier
Doesn't matter if there are 100 types of switches out there, just buy what you like.
Want to be safer then just stay with "OG" switches

saw the demo unit of this mkb just the other day, nice looking. wish it has a tkl version tho.

The reason why I didn't go for new Cherry black or red is due to the scratchy feeling that comes with it, even after lubing it.
Sensitive linear lover's finger user will understand it

Old Cherry MX Black aka Vintage Black
Pros
- Buttery smooth after lubing
- OG Cherry MX

Cons
- Hard to find
- Expensive
- Not all harvested vintage blacks are in working condition

Gateron Linear
Pros
- Buttery smooth even before lubing
- Cheap
- New condition and can be bought easily

Cons
- Not cherry


How lah not to love Gateron?

But this comparison is from my personal experience and only covers for Linear switches.
I didn't try Gateron's clicky switch or tactile switch yet.

On a side note, from what I heard, Zealios tactile switch is good for those who loves a more pronounced tactile, but they are damn expensive

Hi guys,

Anyone interested in used IBM Model M (90's) model? I am getting a bunch of them. PM me for details.

new mkb

The WhiteFox GB is on on Massdrop today. So tempting. But I don't wanna go bankrupt lol.

PM'ed


I joined the drop just to secure a spot in the queue. Still deciding whether to go all the way, or pull out later. I'd honestly much rather get Yuktsi's acrylic custom.

Shine 5 MX Blue RGB is definitely on my buylist too. Sadly I can't afford all three keyboards

I might get the acrylic custom instead as well, if the price is right for me.
Oh wait, ~RM400 is just about right.

Honestly I wanted to go with the WhiteFox with Zealios but there's no pre-assembled options for the Zealios variant.And then there's the price factor, RM1k is too steep for a not-so-rich man like me.

Honestly, if Yuktsi's acrylic ever goes live soon, I might be getting a Clear switch variant of it. I finally got the time to play with my switch tester today.
The Clear switch felt so damn good.

I don't think the assembly will a big issue for WhiteFox, everything except the switches are pre-soldered. I suspect Yuktsi's one will be more difficult. Are clear switches being offered for that? I haven't been keeping abreast.

Yes, I don't plan to add a RM1k keyboard to my collection just yet. I rather go for quantity right now and experience as many mass-market junk boards as possible first.

Current budget allocation is RM700 for Shine 5 plus RM450 for acrylic custom, total >RM1.2k still can tahan. Getting the $200 WhiteFox is going to rape me a new hole.

If you are talking about the WhiteFox, then yes, there are Clear switches offered, all from those three brands, Zealios, Gateron and Cherry.

Shine 5 is RM700? Wow. I didn't expect it to go that high, glad I wasn't anticipating for it.

By the way, do you know how to enable N-KRO mode on the V60? I looked everywhere and I can't find a switch or anything. Perhaps it can only be used on a PS/2 port?
